No excuse now with more depth and options at 4/5.


Yeah this is true. Bobby's hustle lately is making me think he should be getting more C minutes also

Rewatched Kuzma's minutes from his debut. No idea what to think and obviously his fit with Giannis will be the most important thing but despite some of the good stuff, he just mostly doesn't stand out. I have a feeling he's going to be our Chunky and he'll struggle to figure out what he does.

Let's hope not.



Come on man... like why though... every year you have to focus like it's all or nothing. There are no guarantees.. Luka just went to the Lakers... you make every move you have to to keep Pat from ever seeing the floor this year again. MF been jacking up our playoff series's by being trash but the only healthy body available. Don't fall for it.. the future is now. Worry about getting prospects after Giannis is gone and we try to rebuild on the fly. Rn we scour the buyout for more athletic, fast 3 and D wings as Kuz insurance... POA defender... even better

Hard to read anything into 23 minutes with no Giannis and no practices. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's tiresome with you two going at it over everything and everything.

Well, talking about Kyle, the way I see it is that the wall is his ground. He built it. He zips around on it like a bug

That would be helpful. The two of you don't agree on much and that's fine. I'm not saying either one of you is right or wrong, it's opinions. But often the same issue keeps going back and forth without going anywhere.

So, looking towards the offseason. What could we put together around Giannis to give him 2 more years of title contention with us?

What can we get for Dame and Pat to add to Giannis, Kuzma, Ajax, and Green? Everyone else is gone.

Obviously important to team success, but it would be extremely nice to have Dame absolutely light it for a couple series. Get that trade value bank from out of the tank.

Honestly you need something better at the SG than those two.

Depends who is available

Kuzma and Ajax could be moved too, really only pieces I like on the team going forward are Giannis and Green. Majorly short on talent. I’d probably consider bringing Brook back if he’s willing to sign cheap, not sure we’re going to have a better option in FA or draft.

We are not trading Lillard unless a superstar is the return.
We have already cleared house for a potential trade for our 3rd best player.

Lillard could be traded for a shortlist of players like

Kevin Durant
Steph
Kyrie
Trae
Lamelo

Even so it is a tough decision cause the other team has to want a win now superstar like Dame and not blowing it up.

i just dont really know who wants Dame all that bad. i'm not trying to discount how good he is offensively but at that stage of his career the fit would need to be perfect and level of urgency somewhere approaching desperate.

We don't even call anyone ... They call us for Dame.
We got under 2nd appron for a reason.
We can get a player like Jerami Grant or Cam Johnson in summer by aggregating salaries and offering a pick.
Will see.... Discussing Dame trades after Khris is gone is crazy, not necessary talks imo.

I would rather discuss firing both Doc and Horst in summer rather than trading Dame.
